"As an adult student, music lessons can be a daunting experience; however, after our first meeting it was clear that Steve understood the learning differences between age groups. Steve is passionate about his craft and has the ability to teach his skills in an organized and easy to understand fashion. I feel that I have developed my skills tremendously in just a months worth of lessons and look forward to developing even more. If you are young or old, I would recommend giving Steve a chance."

"Steve is an incredible drum teacher! He is truly a natural teacher making the lessons enjoyable yet challenging! It is an honor and privilege to learn from him and I hope to be his drum student for a very long time. Any student, young or old, would be lucky to learn how to drum from him!"

"Steve is such a great drum tutor! So enthusiastic and motivating. As a brand new drummer with no experience, I had zero idea what I was doing, I’d never even sat behind a drum kit..I highly recommend him. I’m only a few lessons in and I’m hooked! His love of music is evident, contagious, and inspiring. He’s very patient and explains everything so that you have a firm understanding of reading the music as well as playing it before you begin to start putting it all together. I definitely picked the right drum teacher, and am super excited to see what I can achieve with his guidance. I was so apprehensive being 46 and learning drums and he got rid of those jitters instantly! If you want to learn this instrument- he’s the teacher. He’s awesome! Two sticks up!"

"Steve has been giving my son lessons at Saint Louis Drum Lessons since he was 6. That means we are heading into our 10th year!! Steve is a patient and motivating instructor. He especially works well with younger children when their attention span is less than ideal. He makes the lesson fun for them instead of a chore."
